If you start the engine it will put power to the batteries and if the inverter is on to the inverter which should give you power to the shades. Herman

That is very dependent on what state your drivers license was issued in. In Texas a Class "B" Operators permit is required to drive a vehicle weighting over 26,001 Lbs and towing under 10,000 lbs. A Class "A" Operators permit is required to drive a vehicle weighting over 26,001 lbs and towing over 10,001 lbs. Herman

It hurts a lot less when you keep quiet then when you don't. Comes from 56 years of experience.

No but they can get you into trouble. I have found that a Map can help along with the GPS. I will relay on the GPS when in the truck more than in the MH. I can get out of trouble easier in the truck than in the MH. Herman

Have you discussed this with your insurance company? What have they said? Herman

I stand corrected on the shine. Herman

I would to let everyone know that Carl (Manholt) and Linda got MARRIED yesterday. Congratulations! Herman

Wendy, are they the same color as your counters. If so they may be Corian. Corian is a man made material and after molding they are polished to a high shine. You might go to a countertop maker and see if they can polish out the sinks. You might even have them polish all you countertop while they are at it. Herman

As has been said before folks will purchase what they think will work for them. I have Michelins on the wifes Saturn Vue, Yokohamas on my truck and Toyos on the coach. (which were half to cost of Michelin and are 295-80R-22.5) The Vue isn't driven much only about 2,000/year, the Yokohamas on the truck have almost 35,000 miles on them and are looking good , while the Toyo are about 18 months old with about 10,000 miles on them and are true, even and smooth. So I would look for tires with the best report and price that suits you. Herman

I see my error, I have a dot after com duhlenbrock@fmca.com Herman

That sound more like it. The Victoria was a name in the Ford line for many years. If I remember correctly our neighbor, Price Strickland, had a 1932 Ford Victoria 2 door sedan. Again, another one I wish I had. Herman

Beth, Welcome to the Forum. Not being familiar with your coach I don't know if it is Gas or Diesel. On many diesel coaches there is a compartment on the drivers side in front of the wheel. There will be many fuses. Also you may find a fuse panel in the closet or in storage area in the bedroom. Some times they are small little black boxes and sometimes larger black boxes mounted on the side wall. Hope you find it. Herman

Thanks Ross. Only been there once in a car. That was in 2000 if I remember correctly. Beautiful place and wonderful experience for both Scouts and Scoutleaders. Herman

Fairlane was first made in 1962. The 51 Ford was the last of that body style. The only way for me to tell the difference between 49, 50 and 51 was the 49 had pull door handles, the 50 and 51had push button door handles and the 51 had the double bullet grill. Loved all three. Herman

If you haven't or don't remember getting an email from FMCA send a email to Doug Uhlenbrock and ask to have your certificate sent. duhlenbrock@fmca.com. Each certificate is numbered. Herman

Jim, I have been on 64 from Raton to Taos in a 28 foot gas coach. The only problem I had was lack of power. The roads were fine, a bit winding and a lot of ups and downs. I have friends that were Workampers in Eagles Nest, NM in a 40 ft. Roseair and had no problems. If you would like stop in Cimarron and visit Philmont Scout High Adventure Camp. You might disconnect in Cimarron and drive your tow to the camp it's only a couple of miles and a great trip. Of course that is depending on it being open because of the Pandemic. Have a great trip and be safe. Herman

And to you to. Thanks, you reminded me that I needed to lower and bring in my flag. Herman

Ditto, I would like to see the coach that wore the tire out rather then aging out. One other thing to examine in addition to the side walls is in between the treads. The sides can look fine and have extensive cracking between the treads. (from experience) Herman

If it is covered by insurance why not find a shop to make the repairs and let them find a fender. It may take a week or several months but you can let them find one. I am sure the insurance company would be glad to work with a shop to save them from having to have one made. If they have to make one make sure they keep the mold or pattern, you never know when you might clip another short post. Herman

You should be able to tow without a pump if you stay under 65 mph and stop every 3 to 4 hour and run the engine for at least 5 minutes. This does several things, it lubes the transmission, it will help the battery recharge and will give you a break where you can stretch your legs and maybe walk the dog. Herman

Louie, your Chapter is one of the larger Chapters in FMCA. And congratulation on that. There may be some Chapter in California that are having large rallies. I know you'll are celebrating you 50th anniversary on the 5th to the 8th of November. Hope the place where it is schedule for is up and running by then. At this time I know that LB & Carol plan on going and Joe Wright is planning on attending. I wish we could be there but I will be heading up the group of volunteers at the State Fair in Shreveport at that time. And again, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. Herman

louiseg1248, Welcome to the Forum. FMCA has canceled all National Conventions and Area Rallies for the remainder of the year. However that doesn't effect Chapter Rallies. Chapters may still have Rallies if they can find a RV Park that can or will accommodate them and the area is open to gatherings such as a Rally. Our home Chapter has members all over Texas. In the area where we live there are 10 or so couples that live close. About 2 weeks ago we met at a restaurant, each ordered carry out and sat in the parking lot, had dinner and visited. A week later we had a covered dish supper at our house, we live in the country. Both outing were a nice change for what we are going through now. No one is sick and all have been practicing social distancing. Herman

Folks will, and in their mind have a right to complain about the cost of Assist. But the day one of them falls and breaks a bone or heaven forbid has a heart attack, they will be happy for FMCA and Seven Corners. Herman

Carl, Larry Huff has his amplifier mounted on his over the air antenna. I don't know how he routed it but it goes up with his OTA antenna. You might ask him. Herman

How does Airplane made help? Do you set your phone or MiFi on it. I have never used Airplane mode before. Here it about 65 and sunny with a 15 to 20 mph wind. Washing the coach now. Got the sunny side done before it got to drying to fast. Now on to the shadyside. And I am doing it all without a mask on.🤪 Herman
